  "account": "The Buffalo Bills have reached an agreement to sign their starting right guard, O’Cyrus Torrence, to a four-year contract extension. The deal includes $46 million in guaranteed money, as confirmed by a source with knowledge of the contract. Torrence, a second-round pick in the 2023 draft from the University of Florida, has been a starter since his rookie season and has become a key part of the team's offensive line. Entering his final year of his rookie contract, the 26-year-old has started 57 games, including playoff matches, and has helped lead the team's line, which has allowed the fewest sacks in the NFL for the past two seasons. The only change to the offensive line entering this season is at left guard, where competition exists between Alec Anderson and Austin Corbett for the starting position, following David Edwards' free-agent departure. The Bills have invested heavily in their offensive line, with left tackle Dion Dawkins and center Connor McGovern also under contract through at least the 2027 season.",
  "summary": "The Buffalo Bills have reached a deal with right guard O’Cyrus Torrence to sign him to a four-year contract extension, with $46 million in guaranteed money, according to a source cited by The Associated Press. Torrence, a second-round pick in 2023 from the University of Florida, has been a starter since his rookie season and has played a crucial role in protecting quarterback Josh Allen. The extension comes as the Bills aim to keep much of their offensive line intact for the long term. This is part of a broader trend of the team securing contracts to prevent key players from entering free agency.",
